Britain's first ever entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest, in 1957 with 'All'. She finished 7th out of ten entries with the shortest ever song (clocking in at 112 seconds).
Bredin married Canadian businessman Charles MacCulloch, but he died on their honeymoon.
She landed the Eurovision chance following a short meeting with BBC executives, who asked her, "Would you like to be on TV?".
Bredin took the part of Molly, the island girl, in the original cast of the musical Free as Air in 1957.
Her singing career began as a member of the Hull Operatic Society, performing in shows at the City Hall and other venues.
